Tones skin well!

I am not a fan of toners. I am quite useless when it comes to following a routine. I am either too busy or can't be bothered. Using this toner I have noticed a difference with my skin. My pores seem smaller and my spots have definitely cleared up. I found that it smelt super nice and using it everyday made a big difference to the appearance of my skin. I am definitely going to buy this product again. Using it with the cleanser and the moisturizer is essential to give me a clean skin look. Its a really pretty bottled and easy to use. I found popping it onto a flannel worked best for me and used it after the cleanser. It was really good because there were numbers on the bottle so even though you could be a beginner the numbers will help! Thanks Beauty Review for the awesome trial :).

Tips: Pop onto a flannel for distribution.

Essano oil control balancing toner

I enjoyed this product as it made my skin feel soft, fresh and seemed to really help keep the shine away. It didn’t dry my skin out like some toners do and you only needed a tiny bit for the whole face. Lovely packaging and an easy to use product. It even had quite a pleasant scent. Overall I really enjoyed it.

Tips: Using all three products, Cleanser, toner and moisturiser it really helped keep the shine away. Use it with a cotton ball and you only need a tiny bit of the product to work.

The best oily skin toner ever

Hands down, this is the best oil control toner I have used on my face - and I have used a lot of different brands!

This toner made me a bit hesitant at first as it dried my skin up pretty much instantly after putting it on. But using it along with the moisturizer got rid of that problem. The fact that it dries your skin so quickly definitely helped with the oil control, and this was noticeable after the first use.

The toner had a really nice smell to it, and that stayed on my skin for a good couple of hours after using it. It was sweet, but not overpowering which was important to me since it would be literally under my nose all day.

I love this system so much! It's made such a difference to my skin and has gotten my oil levels on my face right down.

Tips: Follow up with moisturizer while the toner is still sitting on your skin, I found this made it sink in to my skin a lot better.

Actually sold me on toner

I've had a love/ hate relationship with toners. Some are too harsh, some do nothing. The first thing I noticed about this toner was that it has a short ingredients list of a small handful of effective ingredients. No fillers or harsh additions. Just a few powerful ingredients, which is all anyone needs in a skincare product.

This toner comes in a bottle with a flip top lid, I wish it had a spray top as I prefer to spray toners straight one, but I'm guessing they have a reason for this choice. I love it nonetheless.

The zinc and niacinamide combo in this toner are a winning combination. It has improved my skin tone and texture since I've been using it. It's sold me on good toners at least and I'll be buying this again in the future. I love that it's NZ made as well.

Tips: Use it! It's worth the extra step for the results.

I THINK it works

I’ve never used a toner before, so I’m actually not sure what to expect as a result. However, using this as per of the full essano system, it seemed to do a good job.

I do wish the bottle was slightly bigger. After about 2 weeks I’m almost halfway through the bottle. It would also be helpful if the bottle was a bit transparent so you could see how much product was left.

Brilliant Toner

I really enjoyed using this toner - I don't often reach for a toner, which as someone with the world's oiliest t-zone is probably a bit of a fail on my part!

This toner is very refreshing and not too astringent. You can feel a pleasant 'tightening' after use, not that awful 'cheap' toner tightening, but just your skin becoming less oily and more even in texture and tone. It definitely seems to minimise pores too which is fantastic!

I use this mostly after my evening cleanse as I don't use a cleanser in the morning - but a few times a week if I wake up a bit oilier than usual I've used this before commencing the rest of my skincare regime to good effect.

Essano's packaging and information on it is great as per usual and the price point I've seen online is spot on.

Oil Balancing Toner

This product is very refreshing. It has a great smell, nothing too invasive, just fresh and clean. Great for removing last traces of cleanser and sealing the skin after cleansing. Skin feels firm afterwards, oil and shine is eliminated with its stand out ingredient, Niacinamide. Niacinamide helps control congested skin and dry out blemishes. Priced affordably and easy to buy either online or from most supermarket stores. It's a steal if you are looking for a hardworking product and easy to budget buying other steps in the routine like cleanser, spot treatment and moisturiser.

Tips: After cleansing, apply to towel dried skin using a cotton pad or cotton wool. Apply moistened cotton pad all over face and neck. Follow with spot treatment and Oil Control Niacinamide Oil Free Moisturiser.

Great Toner

I've never used a toner before so was excited to try this.

The bottle had a flip top that was easy to use, and I used a cotton pad to apply the toner to my skin.

I liked the smell and I could see that it removed dirt from my face that I'd missed with the cleanser.

Having seen the difference it makes, I'm now a toner user and would buy this for sure.

Soothing & Calm

Picked this up in the vault. I'm a fan of the brands skin care, this product is no less. Soothing and soft on my skin. Hax a slight botanical? Scent that I also enjoy. Skin feels calm and ready for the rest of my skincare regime. No doubt, I would pick this up again.
